There is no denying this red dot is expensive, but I believe you 'usually' get what you pay for. The M4 Red Dot is one of the most well made high quality optics I have seen. I have a Leupold scope on my .270 that I bought used and it's as solid as the day it was manufactured - very well made. I also have a Nikon Monarch on my .460 revolver that takes a great deal of punishment from that round and is still a solid performer. There is no question the M4 is built as well or better, but also made to take a real beating. My Nikons and Leupold have been banged around while hunting, it happens, but the M4 would easily outlast any scope I have. When you get one of these in your hand you will see the quality. There may be less expensive red dots out there, but consider the service you get from AimPoint, if you should ever need it, and this is hard to beat. The AimPoint Pro is a nice red dot too, but the AA battery is easier to find and I don't have to buy another battery type.

I did return this 'kit', which has the Gerber Multi-tool included, not because there was anything wrong with the tool, but I really didn't need one (I have one I bought years ago) and I wanted the mounting hardware and filter. Also, throw the battery out that is included and go buy a lithium AA battery that can take the cold and the heat without leaking....

Pros:

Built like a tank

Very high quality

Rock solid mount

Cons:

price

Best Used for:

hunting

Harsh environments

Would recommend: Yes

I purchased this item from Optics Planet on Nov. 21, 2012. Optics Planet had one of the best prices around, but coupled with one of their excellent coupons, I couldn't find a single place that could beat the price. I decided on this red dot over the rest for two primary reasons: the best battery life of any red dot I know of regardless of cost and its extreme durability. I haven't yet owned the red dot long enough to test the 8 year continuous on battery life claim, but I have seen no issues with mine granted I turn mine off after each use. The videos demonstrating the durability of Aimpoint optics are impressive to say the least. While mine sits atop an AR chambered in .223REM, I wouldn't hesitate to put it on anything. I have taken several tactical rifle classes with the optic and never had any issues. The only negative is the cost; however, I truly feel this red dot is worth the cost. I would go with the CompM4s over any Eotech any day. The fact that it uses a single AA battery versus special lithium batteries is a big plus. The Eotech's battery life can't touch the Aimpoint. I firmly believe in the adage, "Buy Once, Cry Once." I also have mine attached with a Bobro QD mount (similar to a Larue Tactical QD mount but in my opinion better and easier). I also have the clear rear flip up Aimpoint cap and the kill flash front Aimpoint cap.
Pros: Durable; Long Battery Life; Simple Operation; Waterproof
Cons: Expensive...

Would recommend: Yes

I got this M4S on my AR.
I was deciding to get T-1 or M4s. and got M4s with
LaRue mount. It is durable and clear in optical view.
I really like it. But if you want light, compact RDS,
go with T-1 or H-1. M4s also shines with AA battery choice since it is easy to get. overall, it is excellent choice for CQB.
Pros: Durability, awesome battery life. clear optical performance
Cons: Big, heavy...

Would recommend: Yes

Doesnt come with mounting screws or mount so you might have to call aimpoint to get screws to mount a QD mount of your choice. Aimpoint sent me the screws for free.
Pros: dot is very crisp and clear
Cons: dot distracting to line up co-witness, so I fold my sights down...

Would recommend: Yes
